Prof. Dr. Aytekin ISMAN Faculty of Education Sakarya University-TURKEY Senior Instructor Fahme DABAJ Faculty of Education EMU-NCTR ABSTRACT The purpose of the present paper is to explore how distance education has diffused in north Cyprus. In this paper, Rogers’ diffusion theory (1995) was used to analyze the acceptance and implementation of distance education in institutions of higher learning in north Cyprus. The four main elements of the diffusion paradigm -- the innovation, communication channels, time, and a social system -- were used to analyze the North Cyprus distance education project. The results of this research indicate that the Rogers’ four elements were useful in analyzing the innovation of distance education in north Cyprus.
